Piestar

What if research administration systems didn't just manage data for compliance reporting, but actually drove greater program growth? What would it mean for research teams, support staff... for scientific discovery itself? Led by a team with over a decade of experience serving NIH, NSF, and USDA-funded programs, Piestar is fundamentally reimagining what research administration tools can accomplish for research enterprises worldwide. We are pioneering a new approach—Research Performance Software (RPS)—transforming administrative burden into an agent for program advancement and funding sustainability. Piestar's software is thoughtfully constructed to reduce traditional administrivia and deliver enhanced operational efficiency, giving research leaders the power to not only manage their programs but propel them forward. With the unique needs of sponsored research baked into the software itself, our team is on a mission to change how project information flows: from data collection to insights, and from actions to advocacy.
